About Caught In Joy

✨ My Story — Why I Chose Music Over a High-Powered Career

Caught In Joy (Karol Pokojowczyk) is a multi-instrumentalist based in Florida, passionately dedicated to live composing, hardware synthesizers, and tape recording - a completely independent music project. I strive to create four albums and visual performances every month, entirely by myself.

I Quit My Day Job to Focus Fully on Music

I started my professional life as a software engineer and later became a serial entrepreneur, with a few successes along the way.
After more than 30 years of working, I saved enough to fund my dream: building a home studio where I could finally focus fully on music.

50+ Albums Released in Just Three Years

Three years ago, I made the leap — I left my day job behind and have since independently produced and released over 50 albums on Bandcamp, receiving an amazing response from listeners around the world.

All My Recent Albums Are Now Available Free on YouTube

I began recording everything live on video and optimized my creative process to produce up to four full-length albums and visual performances every month, which I now release freely on YouTube for everyone to experience.

While the project is growing, it's still not enough to fully cover the costs of living and maintaining my studio.

Your support helps me continue exploring sound, emotion, and imagination — without compromise.
Every contribution matters and keeps the music alive.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
